I think of problems and the dev solves them, simple as.

Why would anyone buy ARK a second time? Wasn't the first time enough? Didn't that game run poorly, already, on Unreal? Why would anyone pay more money for a worse product that they already own? Ask yourself all of these questions before you decide to pay for this game. And in the event your friend buys it for you, shake your head in disappointment.

Mediocre nu-gen tactical game with thoroughly itemized DLC factions. The game is clearly designed for multiplayer, so anyone playing on their own will have a limited experience. While polished, the gameplay was rarely satisfying and the AI wiggled somewhere between inept and broken.

For a game made in 8 months by 5 college students and is free, this is a fantastic game to play with friends. I do not recommend playing it solo, however.

Nah

Adds overpowered leaders that are infinitely less interesting than the ones in Endless Space 2.

I just voted it down to be different.

A game exceedingly similar to others in its genre. Sid Meier's Pirates!, Windward, Starsector and Sunless Sea come to mind. You control a team of no more than three ships and explore an admittedly empty, admittedly large stretch of sky called ... something. I don't really remember.

The game doesn't really feel all that fleshed out, but the combat is fun and feels "right". There is an in-game economy but it lacks the depth of Starsector.

I would actually say it's exceedingly similar to Windward but without the constrained, small maps that that game had and with the additional benefit of being able to board enemy ships, as well as customize your own.

For $20, the game feels about as complex and deep as I could expect it to be, however the art style definitely has an uncanny quality and the text is plagued with typographical errors and awkward, stilted grammar that makes it obvious this game was originally written in a language other than English.

My biggest gripe was the soundtrack, hilariously, rather than any game play: It was only ever boring or annoying. It didn't even manage to fade into the background until I turned the volume slider way, way down.

PS: I have literally no idea what the people in this review section are going on about in terms of "They wanted to make an MMO", there's no XP system, levels or anything like that. It's a purely story-based game with a number of voice-acted specialist characters who crew your ship.
